Find the TITLE of current webpage open in WebEngine [[JAVAFX]] - javafx

Question

I am coding a Web Browser based on Javafx. I want to fetch the TITLE of webpages currently open in the WebEngine.
Thankyou :)

Answer 1

A mutch better and nice way is just use the WebEngine.getTitle()
Here is an example how to use it:
stage.titleProperty().bind(webView.getEngine().titleProperty());

Answer 2

Once the document is loaded you can use the DOM API to find the title. (I generally dislike the DOM API, but here's how you'd do this.)
private String getTitle(WebEngine webEngine) {
Document doc = webEngine.getDocument();
NodeList heads = doc.getElementsByTagName("head");
String titleText = webEngine.getLocation() ; // use location if page does not define a title
if (heads.getLength() > 0) {
Element head = (Element)heads.item(0);
NodeList titles = head.getElementsByTagName("title");
if (titles.getLength() > 0) {
Node title = titles.item(0);
titleText = title.getTextContent();
}
}
return titleText ;
}

Answer 3

Just a different implementation of #James_D excellent answer (little less verbose, little more Java 8 style):
private String getTitle(WebEngine webEngine) {
Document doc = webEngine.getDocument();
NodeList heads = doc.getElementsByTagName("head");
String titleText = webEngine.getLocation(); // use location if page does not define a title
return getFirstElement(heads)
.map(h -> h.getElementsByTagName("title"))
.flatMap(this::getFirstElement)
.map(Node::getTextContent).orElse(titleText);
}
private Optional<Element> getFirstElement(NodeList nodeList) {
if (nodeList.getLength() > 0 && nodeList.item(0) instanceof Element) {
return Optional.of((Element) nodeList.item(0));
}
return Optional.empty();
}
